Get Up And Out

Hey guys. So, as I'm sure you have noticed, I have been missing from the blogging world for about a month now...and for that, I am very sorry. Now this is usually when I'd say "but now, that's not going to happen, I'm in it to win it!" And I really, truly wish I could say that. I do. I love this blog so much, and writing for it makes me so happy and excited. However, I have had to prioritize. Right now is a really important time for me with coursework, and it is extremely important that I do as well as I possibly can...and I don't want to just whip up random posts that aren't even good, just for the sake of posting. And so it is with a heavy heart that I say...I'm going to be taking a break from the world of blogging/wattpad for awhile. I'll probably be back over the Christmas holidays, because I'll have time then, and I'll reassess at that point whether I have time to do more in the New Year. My hope is that I will, but I won...

Hey guys! Happy Sunday :)) So today, I am back, with a book review! This one is called "Love & Gelato" by Jenna Evans Welch. Let's get into it :) First off, I loved it, and would totally recommend it. It was one of the books I stayed up half the night to finish, and loved pretty much every moment of it. I'll try and briefly tell you about it without giving too, too much away (BUT MAY CONTAIN SPOILER ALERTS...just warning ya...) - It's essentially about this girl (Lina, short for Carolina) who's mother recently passed away from cancer. She's never known her father...until now. She finds out that her father lives in Tuscany, and her grandmother sends her to live with him. She thinks she'll be miserable there...but then she meets Ren (short for Lorenzo). They become best friends, basically. And then she is given her mother's journal, from when she was in Italy, and they begin to uncover some pretty big secrets (read it to find out what!). One ...

Hey peeps! It's Sunday...so I'm back! This weekend, I was really lucky and had the chance to go up to a lodge and do some canoeing, hiking, and just being outside in nature with my family. I really, really enjoyed it (as I always do) and it really gave me some time to think. In light of this, I'd like to share with you all a metaphor I came up with this year, about canoes and life. So let's get into it :) Life is like a canoe. You're in the bow, or the stern (depending on whether it's lake or river canoeing haha), and you are steering yourself wherever you would like to go. Wherever the bow of the canoe is pointing, that's your direction. At any point, any action you take has the power to change your whole course. You might get off track , wanting to take a picture of a bird or making some decisions that perhaps weren't the best. But you always have the option to get back on your feet and keep moving. It's 1% what happens to you and 99% how you...

Hello everyone! Long time no see! I have been SO inactive lately guys and I am truly sorry. School has caught up to me and I have had a heck ton of homework every night, as well as a bunch of events that have happened in the last month, and so I just haven't gotten the chance to log on and post at all:( I have missed you all, and writing every week, very, very much. I hope to get back on schedule soon, but honestly, no promises, and I'm really, really sorry about that. As much as I love blogging, school definitely takes priority. ALSO. I am planning on trying to film a school routine video, but idk when that will happen unfortunately cause my schedule has been a bit unpredictable lately. Hopefully I will be able to fit that in soon and make it happen though!! Anyways, let's get into the post :)) Are you in a rut? Are you feeling lazy, but need to get things done? Or are you just having a terrible, no good, horrible, very bad day, like Alexander? NEVER FEAR! You ...

Hello hello! Happy Sunday! So, y'know what I just realized? I haven't done a life update/chat on my blog since DECEMBER. I've shared little bits and pieces, but it's been a few months less than a year since I have done a life update! Needless to say, a lot has changed since then! So, I thought I'd do another one for you guys today :)))) ^^Posted this on my insta last week :))) This past week has been pretty hectic for me, as the first week of school always is. We only had quick, fifteen minute intro classes, but we had a bunch of activities that always happen during the first week or so. I was at school until late pretty much every day, and so unfortunately, I've come down with a bit of a cold :( Hopefully I will get better soon though, with tea and a few early nights :) As I said on my insta, if you have me on there, on the first day of school, we only had to be there till early afternoon, so one of my best friends and I decided to make a day out of ...

Hey hey hey!! How are you all today?? (That rhymed, so I'm a poet, okay?! :P) Can we just take a moment to appreciate Harry Styles' vocals?? Cause BRO. He just released the studio/live version of Two Ghosts, and it sounds THE EXACT same as the original!! I forgot I was listening to the real version every now and then, during the video, LOL. Anyways. How is it already September?? That's crazy, but I'm not gunna lie, I'm kinda excited about it. I mean, beanies and sweaters! And tea, in a mug!! I walked to the library the other day to get some work done, and wore a beanie, a sweater, had ginger tea in a travel mug, with some good music playing on the walk there. MAN OH MAN, I couldn't have been happier :) But because it is the start of a new month, I thought it would be the perfect time to do a favourites post! I haven't done very many of these, so I thought, why not? It's fun, and I enjoy writing + reading them, so I hope you will too!! Let's get...

Hey hey hey! How are you all? So, it's Sunday! Meaning, I'M BACK :)))) Okay, so I thought I'd do a combination post, since I only got one question haha :D So first for the question from  +Paige Petrovsky  : What made you want to start a blog ? THANKS FOR YOUR QUESTION :))))))  I had always kind of wanted to do something like this, before I started. I loved (and still love) writing, and photography. I had just read Zoella's book, Girl Online, and so decided that it would be super cool to start a blog myself!! And here we are, two years later, still lovin' it :)) Alright. Now, I'm super excited to be doing a tag today!!!! The lovely  Sweet Treats  nominated me for the Mystery Bloggers Award!! A massive thank you to them, I'm honoured!! You should definitely go check out their blog cause it is pretty freaking awesome!! :) Also, the creator of this award is  Okoto Enigma , who is also pretty cool!! You should definitely check out her blog as well. ...
